The most striking part of the movie was when Lomax, the main character, even in his anger and rage, did not hurt or kill his previous tormentor, Japanese translator Nagase when the two finally met. You will see in the movie how the transition and change of hearts happened. I could see how time and conversion of one's heart made a difference. At the end, they became good friends and treat each other as brothers.
It just goes to show that even in the most difficult times in our lives, the only thing we can do is to accept things and to forgive those who hurt us and not become consumed by hate and revenge. I always believe that there are many instances in our lives when we question why things happen this or that way, yet what else can we do? I have always believed in the saying, "Nothing happens by accident for behind everything there is a reason though we may not know at once". Moreover, in the movie, it was showed how love indeed conquers everything. The love of the wife of Eric Lomax, Patti, also helped in the healing of his past. I also learned that it is important to communicate though it may hurt digging one's past experiences because it will be like opening wounds that already became scars. Trust, faith, and acceptance are the key to building solid relationships.
Hope you will be more inspired after watching this movie. Enjoy!
